i remember george bush talking about privatizing social security. he decided to put a lot of political capital. it failed. and he lost a lot in the process. i tend to believe that that math is going to be true in a second term too. there's a president who until now has tried to see, where do i use my political capital? and i think if he thinks this is a loser of an issue, that there's no chance. he knows if he deploys it here, he's not going to be able to use it elsewhere. i think that physics remains in the second term. i think where i would differ slightly with aaron on the issue of obama's relationship to netanyahu, i would not use that phrase that he did. i've heard from people who have talked to him that he would say netanyahu does want peace in the abstract, but he's not going to use political capital to make it happen. that you need political vision, then you've got to be able to use that capital. his question about netanyahu is someone who in principle always talks to him about how much he wants peace, how much he's willing to defy his base.

bush plan of attack. my question is, how is that heard in tehran? does it make a difference? >> one of the arguments is that we have to present realistic military option towards iran, that if there's no military threat, that iran would not come to the table. i think actually looking at the iranian nuclear program it is motivated by insecurity and fear. fear of u.s. military capabilities. so i don't think necessarily that the threat of attacking iran's facilities by the united states or israel is necessarily productive. you can argue that that threat actually make compel iran to weaponize its program in the future. even i think sanctions, we don't entirely know if sanctions will have the effect of dissuading iraq from weaponizing. it could get to a point, if the regime feels that its in peril, it could see a nuclear weapons capability as a solution to its problems. so threats when it comes to iran i think have a very limited effect. iran is already under the impression that it faces a military threat by the united states and israel. i think reiterating that constantly is not n
